This model I
made in 1987. It was converted from
the F-16A Hasegawa kit nr. 1202 -- USAF - 8e TFW AFB Kunsan
South Korea. The most important extra's of course are the second
cockpit and some small access doors that were opened. Also the wingflaps
were separated.
The whole
cockpit interior with its consoles and both the ejection seats are totally
scrathbuilt. Also watch the thin (home made plasticard)
"movable" fins at the front of the sidewinder missiles.

The canopy is
the only part that that is not self made. It was bought in a shop in
Texas. I could buy it from my very good friend and Dutch 1/32 top-modeller
Cees Hendriks, who had fortunately two examples ordered those days! (After all those years, still thanks for that Cees! )
The canopy however
was rough and took a lot of sanding and further detailing.
Watch the photo's and enjoy
( I hope)
